"Fifty-one percent of the damaged oil refining capacity is a significant blow to the enemy's economy, to its ability to wage aggression, and to supply its military formations," Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara said Oct. 4.

The package was announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at a joint press conference in Kyiv.
The president's comments come a week after he warned that Moscow is preparing to recruit another 10,000 North Korean military personnel to fight alongside Russian troops against Ukraine.
"I congratulate Andris Kulbergs on his convincing victory in the parliamentary elections in Latvia ... Ukraine deeply appreciates Latvia's unwavering friendship and support," President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Oct. 4.
Drones operated by the SBU's Alpha special operations unit hit a Su-35 multirole fighter and a Su-34 fighter-bomber at the airfield, located around 500 kilometers (310 miles) from Ukrainian territory.
The operation was the second large-scale drone delivery to the occupied city, where residents have faced severe shortages of food, water, and medicine.
In this report, the Kyiv Independent’s Asami Terajima and Nick Allard join a Ukrainian volunteer air defense team defending Kyiv as Russia intensifies its drone attacks on the capital.
Overnight, Russia launched 135 attack drones of various types, including 52 jet-powered drones, the Air Force said.
From Oct. 1 to Oct. 3, Kyiv's Southern and Northern bridges were targeted in multiple Russian drone strikes amid an intensifying campaign against infrastructure in the capital.
The number includes 1,750 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.
Merz was accompanied by Economy Minister Katherina Reiche and 10 executives from Germany's defense and energy sectors.
